Bitcoin millionaire Erik Finman answers critics from Left & Right calling Freedom Phone a "scam".
July 20, 2021
Since Freedom Phone’s announcement and launch last Wednesday, promising a product free of Big Tech censorship and surveillance, the company has garnered universal criticism from the left and some criticism from the right (notably Reason Magazine’s notoriously Pro-Big-Tech Robby Soave).
Freedom Phone’s Founder Erik Finman agreed to an extensive interview with National File to respond to those who call the venture a “grift” or “scam”.
Those /e/ apk's are ripped from somewhere else and provided as is, they don't "just work" without the spyware that is google play services, basic shit like push notifications don't work without it and apps don't have a fallback solution.
Any DeGoogled Android phone will need a replacement for "Google Mobile Services".
Huawei HarmonyOS uses "Huawei Mobile Services".
And /e/OS uses "microG".

/e/OS has begun using microG, an open-source "reimplementation of Google Mobile Services that maintains user data privacy while allowing you to use most apps that rely on Google APIs."
